school convention. Harwood of Yellow
stone appeared to be the most reveren
tial Of the lot, and the manner in which
he bowed his head and closed his eyes
will certainly re-elect him from the furi
tanical precincts Of Yellowstone to the
legislature.

THE GOVERNOR
has made only one appointment as yet
and that for the Office of veterinarian
in the person of DR.. Holloway, formerly
an assistant of DR.. Keefer, the present
surgeon, Holloway ,wasrecenly discharged
and became very doughty competitor Of
his superior officer, for the position
which pays eight dollars day and is a
sinecure worth taking in out of the cold
Keefer and Holloway are both here, and
both have their coterie of friends and
pushers. Con Kohrs, the leading cattle
man of the territory, is for Holloway,
and this is thought by stockmen TO be a
pretty sure indication that the council
will cofirm Holloway in day or two
A councilman, in conversation with me
upon this subject, said he would be in
favor of giving the position to a practic-
al man, and would at any time support
such a man as VIM. Flannery of Gala
tin county, rather than these college
graduates. Who Governor Hauser will
appoint for his subordinates, has not yet
been made known, and by few it is
maintained that he will allow his sue
cessor to make the appointments. The
matter keeps great many persons on
the anxious seat, and every arrival from
the rural districts" is at once suspected
of being an applicant for an Office.
Even 1 myself, was suspected of having
designs upon the auditors office. If
Governor Hauser makes the appoint
ments he will do 30 next week, and Prof
Swallow will be his choice for superin-
tendent of public instruction, Joe Brown
of Beaverhead, the treasury, and Ex-
Mayor Sullivan of Helena, auditor. I
was about to make some comments upon
these prospective appointees, but will
wait until their appointment becomes
an actual fact.

The time of the legislature has been
considerably taken up by petitions upon
every conceivable subject. Fortunately,
the legislatile bodies have ruled that
only one name on a petition need be
read, and those who have signed petit
tion with fear and trepidation, are safe,
no one will take the trouble to read the
petitions through. The variety theatre
has been the main cause of these petit
tions, and not day rolls around, but
another huge petition on this subject is
received.
